June 7, 8, 9. Skymmer och ser. Jenny Magnusson / Patrik Elgström
SKYMMER AND SER is an ongoing concept by the artists Jenny Magnusson and Patrik Elgström. Adjacent to a choreographic practice, SKYMMER AND SER work with spatiality, perception and materiality. For three days in June, Jenny and Patrik eplore Weld’s room. Every day at 2 pm they change perspectives, ideas and rebuild.
We use the gallery, the institution, the space to make instant decisions together. In a series of performative movements, we examine the possibility of thinking together, making decisions, in the moment by moving photography, exchanging material, posing in relation. Stack, tilt, lay. Architecture, materiality, the limited format of space, time and context lead us.
